Freeware Tools: Transmute 2.60

Transmute Standard is a powerful bookmark converter that can import and export bookmarks, or favorites, between all of the latest bookmark formats. The program is compatible with a huge number of web browsers - from the familiar Internet Explorer, Firefox, Safari and Opera, to the less commonly used Flock, Chrome, Chromium and Konqueror - and transferring bookmarks could hardly be simpler. Launch the program, indicate the browser which has all of your bookmarks, select the browser you would like to transfer them to and everything else is taken care of for you.

Transmute is a lightweight application designed to help you copy bookmarks from one web browser to another. It can be seamlessly figured out, even by less experienced users.

Transmute is also a great tool for simply backing up bookmarks as a safety measure and can also be used to transfer bookmarks between computers. This option is particularly useful if you are moving between platforms such as Windows to Mac or Linux to Windows. Like all of the best tools, Transmute is based on a simple concept which is executed well.

The interface of the program is based on a standard window. The 'what you see is what you get' expression applies to Transmute when it comes to the GUI, because there are no available features aside from the ones visible in the main application window.

So, all you have to do is select the source and target web browser, make Transmute overwrite and backup the collection (before any changes are made), and proceed with the task. It is also possible to approve the source and target files and folders to be copied beforehand.

Transmute supports a wide range of web browsers, including Chrome, Firefox, Safari, Internet Explorer, K-Meleon, SeaMonkey and Opera, as well as numerous languages for the interface.

It has a good response time, quickly copies bookmarks, and uses a low-to-moderate amount of CPU and system memory in the process.

Although most web browsers offer the possibility of importing bookmarks from others, Transmute can still come in handy along the way. And, thanks to its intuitive layout, first time users cannot get lost between its simple features.
